Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional laparoscopic surgery requires specific instruments for peritoneal entry.
  • Ensuring an airtight seal during laparoscopic procedures is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, simple, and effective laparoscopic technique.
  • To offer a safe and rapid method for peritoneal entry and closure in laparoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves entering the peritoneal cavity, similar to open peritoneal lavage.
  • A pursestring fascial suture is placed for insertion of the laparoscope and introducer.
  • The same suture is used to create an airtight seal and close the fascial defect post-procedure.

Main Results:

  • The described method is safe, rapid, and effective.
  • The technique is easy to learn and implement for laparoscopic surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • This simple laparoscopic approach should be adopted by all surgeons.
  • The technique offers a valuable addition to the laparoscopic surgeon's toolkit.
